Yeah, this is what we see too as we are stranded at the side of the road on the Pennsylvania Turnpike early in the morning. It is cold and slushy. We had to keep driving even after the belt fell off because my mom didn't feel safe pulling over to the side of the road where there were signs saying, "watch for falling rocks". I asked if the cold air was enough to keep the engine from overheating. It wasn't. The thermostat temp was rising after only a few minutes. The Turnpike Control truck arrived that my dad hailed by pushing the emergency button on the side of the road. But they don't have the tools to put the belt on. 16 mm open ended wrench and a pipe for leverage was used by the people at Jiffy Lube to put the serpentine belt on a few days ago when it fell off for at least the 5th time a few days ago. I had not been alerted to this issue beacuse I hadn't driven this van as I've been
away at college. My mom contiinued to assume the belt was "fixed" and wouldn't come off on this trip
